President Donald Trump rode to reelection last fall on voter concerns about prices. But as his administration pares back federal rules and programs designed to protect patients from the high cost of health care, Trump risks pushing more Americans into debt, further straining family budgets already stressed by medical bills. Millions of people are expected to lose health insurance in the coming years as a result of the tax cut legislation Trump signed this month, leaving them with fewer protections from large bills if they get sick or suffer an accident.

It’s usually in the Mid-Session Reviewwhich comes out in July. But no table of forecasts is included this year (you can check–I did!). Which begs the question — how did they estimate the revenues going forward if they didn’t have GDP projections? Now, one could argue that the Administration couldn’t make a forecast given uncertainty regarding the OBBB’s passage and contents (the forecast is usually nailed down a couple months in advance, and OBBB was signed into law on July 4). Nonetheless, internally, they needed something in order to calculate a difference under administration preferred policies. I doubt they did…

On July 26, Taiwan will set a new record for a developed democracy, holding recall referendums for 24 opposition legislators as well as one opposition mayor. This is nothing to be proud of; the mass recalls of more than a fifth of Taiwan’s legislature are the latest sign of a political crisis that has largely gone unnoticed internationally. Since last year, vicious political fighting, sometimes literally, has erupted between the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and the opposition led by the Kuomintang (KMT). Along with the smaller Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), the KMT holds the legislative majority after winning a…
